Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has respiratory failure due to ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch. The nurse should recognize that the client most likely has which of the following conditions?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Emphysema causes V/Q mismatch due to alveolar destruction, leading to poor ventilation but adequate perfusion, resulting in hypoxemia. Flail chest impairs breathing mechanics, congestive heart failure causes diffusion defects, and Guillain-Barré syndrome affects respiratory muscles, not directly causing V/Q mismatch.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following are characteristics of nonallergic asthma? (Select All that Apply.)

Correct Answer: A,D,E,F

Rationale:
Choice A: No hypersensitivity to allergens is correct because nonallergic asthma is not triggered by allergen exposure, unlike allergic asthma.
Choice D: Asthma flare-ups with NSAID administration is correct as NSAIDs like aspirin can trigger symptoms in some with nonallergic asthma.
Choice E: Persistence of manifestations is correct since nonallergic asthma symptoms are often persistent without a seasonal pattern.
Choice F: Positive response to corticosteroids is correct as corticosteroids are effective in managing nonallergic asthma.

Question 3 of 5

Easily getting back to sleep is not typical, as OSA causes fragmented sleep due to frequent awakenings.
